@dailymail: Nearly half of men believe they could safely land a commercial passenger plane during an emergency, according to a viral 2023 YouGov survey of more than 20,000 Americans ✈️ Aviation experts say the reality is far less heroic: an untrained passenger successfully landing a jetliner is 'close to zero,' even with air traffic control guiding them. While a handful of passengers have safely landed small private aircraft in real life, experts stress that commercial jets are vastly more complex - especially under extreme pressure. The findings have reignited online debate over confidence, competence, and just how much people overestimate their abilities in a crisis. 📸 Getty / YouGov, CNN #airplane #jet #survey #news
